Chapter 1198: Assignment
Gu Shen slept beautifully, not for a long time, but it was enough to wash away the fatigue of the journey for several days, and after getting up, he spent nearly an hour carefully wiping the narrow knife, leaving not a single speck of dust.
The narrow knife originally belonged to an unknown Jinpeng killer, but it was in the hands of Gu Shenwei during the chaos in the capital, and he hadn't really used it yet, so he always felt that he had mistreated it.
The blade flickered, like a transparent knife-shaped ice, Gu Shenwei was finally satisfied, during this period, Qin Yeming came in at least three times to remind him that people from all walks of life had gathered in the main hall and were waiting for him to discuss important matters.
"Invite them here, and in times of crisis, everyone should rely on each other as if they were their own family. ”
Qin Yeming glanced at Gu Shenwei deeply, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence too much, but he could see that the master's interest seemed to be very good, so he said the words that he had been holding in his heart for a morning: "Please forgive me, I may ...... I can't stand Han Fen anymore, she is eager to try now, she will go to Huo Yun for a while, she will want to save Guan Cheng for a while, and she will encourage me and threaten me......"
Han Fen's threat was to stop cultivating Xingyun Buyu Finger, and he didn't even allow Qin Yeming to enter her room.
"It's okay, you have done your duty, Han Fen is sometimes more stubborn, even if Huo Yun comes in person, he may not be able to completely persuade her, you have to be patient. Gu Shenwei's mood was not disturbed, but comforted him.
Qin Yeming was surprised, Gu Shenwei was a strict person, even when he was living in seclusion in the valley, he didn't speak so well, he left the room in confusion and went to invite the people in the main hall over.
The room was soon packed, and the guests noticed that the host was in good spirits, and their confidence rose considerably, and after greeting, they had forgotten the confusion and dissatisfaction of waiting.
Gu Shenwei first expressed his condolences to Zihe Zhenren: "I heard that last night when Zhou Prison was on a voluntary patrol was plotted, what happened to the injury?"
The real person sighed slightly. With a smile on his face, "It's okay, the assassin is probably a little panicked, he didn't stab the vital point, Yuqing's injury has stabilized, and he is resting in the room." Alas. complained about me, said a few more words, made him think more, and had to go out to make meritorious service by himself. ”
"It's my fault. Gu Shenwei hurriedly said, "The army of the Xiao Yan clan is here because of me, and I should have arranged a guard early in the morning." ”
The two of you go back and forth, and in the end they each bear half of the mistakes.
The talks began to get to the point.
Shi Qingjue reported the result of Tie Shan's request to the Xiao Yan clan, and as expected, the Xiao Yan clan sternly refused. He also asked the messenger to bring back a sentence, "Tell Monk Tie that there is nothing to do with him here, and if he must intervene, bring me the head of the Dragon King, and I will send him a hundred young female slaves." ”
"I did everything I had to do. "The bandits also have rules, Shi Qingjue can now openly stand on Gu Shenwei's side," although there are not many people here in Tieshan. But all of them are one against ten, and the cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan is pampered. Having not participated in any battles for many years, it is vulnerable. Just waiting for Gu Gongzi's order, Tie Shan is willing to be a pioneer. ”
Shangguan Fei originally made up his mind to only be a bystander, but the matter was related to Nangong's badness, so he had the courage to interject, "The Xiao Yan clan was let go by the general Pang Ning." Isn't the Iron King afraid of offending people?"
Shi Qingjue glanced coldly, Shangguan Fei immediately lowered his head, took two steps back, and hid behind Su Ai.
"Iron Mountain is no one's subordinate. Shi Qingjue said loudly, his eyes moving. He didn't just answer Shangguan Fei, but said it to everyone, "Gu Gongzi is our friend, if the general can accept this, Tie Shan is still willing to form an alliance with him, if not, Tie Shan is not afraid of his 200,000 army, if he can fight, he will fight, if he can't fight, he will run, go back and rob him of grain and grass a few times, no matter what the general is honest." ”
Everyone laughed, Shangguan Fei laughed and flattered, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Miao Sanwen brought several heads, the most powerful, he had already asked for opinions, and no one from the factions objected, and they all asked for battle, "As long as we kill the people of Beiting, the sword in our hands is not soft at all." ”
Next, Su Ai reported the situation of inviting the Luo family swordsman, he had already told Gu Shenwei, this time he said it again in public, the matter was simple, Luo Pingying directly refused, but asked Su Ai to convey a sentence: "The Luo family does not owe favors, but it is up to us to decide." ”
"The Locke family can't control the swordsman anymore. Zihe Zhenren said meaningfully, "Luo Pingying doesn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he can't abide by them, so be cautious, you have to be careful." ”
"I have a way. Gu Shenwei said calmly, paused for a moment, so that the people in the room fully understood the meaning of these four words, and then he said solemnly: "I want to say a word first, thank you for helping me at a critical moment, but in vain, I can't let everyone help in vain, please allow me to act according to the rules of the Western Regions, and give everyone a little benefit afterwards." ”
At this time, no one objected to the "rules of the Western Regions", so they politely said a word or two, and calmly accepted the promise made by Gu Shenwei.
Miao Sanwen and the others got the most direct benefits, and after killing Xiao Yan, the greatest credit belonged to them, as a gift for the Jianghu people to seek reconciliation with the imperial court.
The benefits of Iron Mountain are more indirect, Gu Shenwei will decide where to go after allowing Shangguan to become a fool, but no matter what, he will transfer the title of "Iron Spear King" to Iron Monk.
Shi Qingjue didn't care about the title, but he still accepted the promise.
As for the Kongtong faction, Gu Shenwei said that he would give a small gift afterwards, which sounded like some kind of martial arts, and both parties knew that it was referring to the imperial seal.
"Here's my plan. After getting everyone's favor, Gu Shenwei began to tell the overall plan to assassinate Xiao Yan, "Although Xiao Yan has 10,000 cavalry under her command, she doesn't know how to fight, and she camps on the mountain, but she does not occupy the top of the mountain, and only a small number of sentinels are stationed, which is a big loophole. Master Miao, please lead all the heroes, tonight the third watch touched the mountain, got rid of the sentries, set fire to warn, shouted that the city sent troops to attack at night, and lured the main force of the Xiao Yan clan out of the camp. ”
"It's that simple? There are more than 100 of us, and all of them are good players. Miao San asked that it was not enjoyable.
"No, you'll need to be used later. Gu Shenwei turned to Shi Qingjue, "Xiao Yan has a hostage in his hand, Tie Shan's task is to rush into the camp to grab the hostages, this mission is very dangerous, although Xiao Yan doesn't know how to fight, but she is very smart and vigilant. There may be an ambush. ”
Shi Qingjue had already drawn up a plan to save people, "Don't be afraid, I'm prepared, when my brother went to the camp of the Xiao Yan clan to ask for someone, he had already observed it, and roughly determined the place where Shangguan Cheng would be imprisoned." And I have a few friends who are willing to pass on the news to Iron Mountain. ”
"Beware of the tricks of the little clan. Gu Shenwei reminded.
Shi Qingjue smiled slightly, pulling the scar, which made it even more hideous, "Xiao Yan's family is more concerned about the silk jewelry of the Central Plains, and he doesn't know that his soldiers have dealings with Tieshan, but I will still be careful." ”
"Very good, after the fourth watch, Tie Shan will see the opportunity to act. Wait for the main force of the Xiao Yan clan to come out of the camp, you blow the horn, bluff, Miao Zhangmen heard the sound at the top of the mountain, and immediately led the crowd to rush down the mountain, after entering the camp, please give Tieshan a signal, the two sides attacked, the bigger the movement the better. ”
"I'll let out a roar. Is that okay?" Miao San asked, without a horn, and didn't like to blow that thing.
Shi Qingjue nodded. "Good. ”
Gu Shenwei continued: "The Xiao Yan clan has obviously attracted a lot of martial arts masters over the years, and after the Miao head rushed into the camp, he went straight to the tent on the east side of the Zhongjun tent to attract their attention, don't fight hard, just entangle them and don't let them interfere with the rescue of people in Tieshan." ”
Gu Shenwei raised his hand. Qin Yeming brought a rough map, which he drew based on the situation when he went out of the city to inspect yesterday.
Miao Sanwen and Shi Qingjue looked at the map and determined their respective routes and hiding places.
Zihe Zhenren also leaned over to take a look at it twice and asked, "What does the Kongtong faction do?
"The wounded have to stay, but I have a reluctant request for the real person. ”
The real person laughed. "Oh, you're too polite, this is a war, you're the boss, just give the order. ”
"I hope that real people can watch the Locke swordsmen, just for one night, and don't let them ruin the whole plan. ”
"Well, it's not a big problem, but there are only four people in the Kongtong faction, and my apprentice is still injured, I'm afraid I can't stand the five swordsmen. ”
"Please send a few people to assist the real person. ”
Miao Sanwen had a lot of complaints about the Kongtong faction, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, how many?"
"Two is enough, not too many. Zihe said kindly.
"Shangguan Fei. ”
When Shangguan Fei heard his name, his body trembled, and he turned out from behind Su Ai with a smile on his face, "Here, I can't wait for what you want me to do." ”
"You go and tell the Xiao Yan clan. ”
"Huh?"
"Tell Xiao Yan that tonight the second watch city will send troops to attack at night, the purpose is to send messengers to break out and ask for help from nearby officers and soldiers. ”
This task sounds a bit dangerous, "No one shows up in the second watch, isn't Xiao Yan going to kill me?"
"There will indeed be a night attack on the officers and soldiers tonight, I have already arranged it, but the time is different from what you said, let Xiao Yan guess. Gu Shenwei said it very simply, in fact, it was the Kongtong faction that could arrange the officers and soldiers, not him.
Zihe Zhenren pretended not to know, and nodded slightly like others.
"Good...... Shall I go alone?" Shangguan Fei knew this, but still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Well, you go alone. ”
This time, everyone understood that Gu Shenwei did not trust Shangguan Fei and wanted to leave Nangong Bad as a hostage.
"Okay, I'll go to the soup for Gu Gongzi again. Shangguan Fei gritted his teeth and said.
The task is almost assigned, and there is only one left.
"Assassinate Xiao Yan, I will do it myself, I won't go into details, in short, if everything goes well, Xiao Yan will not live until tomorrow dawn, as soon as she dies, the Beiting cavalry will fall apart, I want to remind you, poor Kou Mo chase, the fewer casualties the better, our purpose is only two: to save people and kill people. ”
Everyone agreed, some people raised a few detailed questions, Gu Shenwei answered them one by one, everyone obeyed the rules very much, and did not ask about the content of the assassination plan, they all knew that in this matter, Gu Shenwei would only trust the people around him.
Su Ai, Qin Yeming, and Nie Zeng are all here, and they are Gu Shenwei's helpers.
Nie Zeng didn't say a word from beginning to end, he couldn't understand Gu Shenwei's true intentions, he had obviously reported everything he saw and heard last night, but Gu Shenwei didn't seem to take it seriously. (To be continued......)
